Why we do it

Mental health is
everyone's business

At Mental Health Movement, we firmly believe that mental health is a collective responsibility. It’s not just about individual well-being; it’s about creating environments where everyone can thrive. 

Mental health touches every aspect of our lives, from personal relationships to professional success. When we foster a mentally healthy, supportive workplace both employees and employers win.

Guided by the principles of empathy, education, and empowerment, we strive to create workplace environments where mental health is recognised as a key pillar to success.

Through sharing personal stories and leveraging the power of lived experience, we aim to dismantle the stigma surrounding mental health, encouraging open dialogue and a supportive community ethos.

Why it matters

One of the most significant barriers to mental health support is the stigma surrounding mental health. 

Storytelling effectively dismantles these barriers, illustrating that mental health challenges are a part of the human experience. 

It validates the feelings and experiences of others, encouraging them to seek support without fear of judgement.

Our methodology is intentionally designed to make workshop content real and relatable, facilitating genuine learning amongst participants. 

This enhances the impact of our programs, leaving a lasting impression on participants and fostering a culture of mental health literacy and proactive support.

The cost of doing nothing

Symptomatic/AtRisk

Legal

Your responsibilities under the Work, Health and Safety legislation include a duty of care to protect both the physical and mental health of their teams. Failure to do so may expose your business to legal repercussions and workers compensation claims.

Symptomatic/AtRisk

Financial

Between absenteeism (sick leave), presenteeism (attending work unwell), and psychological workers compensation claims there is an annual cost of $11 billion to Australian businesses. Additionally, poor mental health can lead to decreased job satisfaction, organisational engagement and staff morale.

Social

People spend roughly one third of their lives at work. As employers you’re responsible for more than simply signing a paycheck, but providing a culture where people can feel safe and supported. We all have a role to play when it comes starting the conversation about mental illness and suicide.
